I Could Have Danced All Night

Now, this is one of those bi-cultural gatherings one should
not miss. Birthday celebration of a dear friend
Sol in their nest in NRW. Good food, wine, kalamay
and fresh fruit salad and good vibration.
Maraming Salamat!

A kind of magic spell...

January 9, 100th year birthday anniversary of Simone de Beauvoir.
Have a date with Sol to have brunch in the
city despite the depressing grey and wet
January weather. Instead of snow in January,
forecast is more rain coming in and temperature
is getting warmer!
While window shopping, we chance on this
Ladies'Toys Shop in Heumarkt near Mang Rey's
Shop. Actually I am looking for Otap while
Sol wants to get some tamarinds.
No tamarinds, no otap but we go to the
other interesting shop where the friendly
saleslady helps us find what we are looking
for. Quite a cosy place, this Ladies'Toys
Shop...it smells so delicious and it looks so
clean and we are having a grand time taking
photos and touching the toys.

"Sex pleasure in woman is a kind of magic spell; it demands
a complete abandon; if words or movements oppose the
magice of caresses, the spell is broken."
Simone de Beauvoir


(Well, a minor problem yet...it won't fit us! Sigh!)
